2009 ECW was what NXT is now, and sadly most fans refused to watch it or acknowledge it's quality simply because it was called 'ECW'.

The first few weeks with RVD as champ and whatnot. One Night Stand 2006 was my favorite PPV of that year.

Good memories: CM Punk, Christian, Dreamer winning the gold. Bad memories: Batista vs. Big Show, December to Dismember, The fact that big Zeke didn't win the Championship at the Rumble only to lose it to Christian to have a feel good end.

Tommy Dreamer's emotional speech before he left. I also liked how the camera had shots on his family, and I sort of marked out when I noticed Beulah. I know they are married in real life, but still.

There are a few full episodes of ECW on WWE's youtube channel.

Matt Hardy vs Mark Henry feud was basically the best thing going for the company at the time. Kudos to both of them (and Tony Atlas as well). They even used a moment that kind of surprised me. Henry and Atlas confronted Hardy in an attempt to intimidate him. Henry showed his strength by bending a steel bar and handing it to Matt, daring him to bend it back. Matt looked at it in his hand disbelievingly for a second, then brained the heels with said steel bar to end the segment. It was so unlike what I expected them to do and hilarious because of that.
I really thought that Cor Von, Burke, and Punk were all going places. 1 out of 3, but that's not entirely on the WWE.
Loved the poser promo.
Test really looked good for a few months. Same for Big Show.
Christian getting booked like he was in TNA (which was a good thing).
WWE actually pushed Sabu for a spell. I never thought I would see that.

An 8-man tag match where the heel team randomly had Doink. They did a Brady Bunch parody intro, and the look on Regal's face was priceless.

Strangely one of my fondest memories of it was the pop Zack Ryder got in Long Island when he came out during the Abraham Washington Show.
The summer of 07 also holds an oddly special place in my heart as I was living in Vancouver that summer and I remember watching ECW alot while there. The Big Daddy V stuff and all that.

I remember Mark Henry beating Matt Hardy for the ECW Title. Hardy didn't seem to mind that much as he had already discovered there was no chocolate under the silver foil. Mark Henry would soon suffer this revelation as well.
I remember Tommy winning it and crying.
I remember Chavo devaluing the title by entering the Royal Rumble. And that we were supposed to be impressed when he dropped it to Kane.
Kane is an ECW Champion, why isn't he helping the Dudleys?

Matt Hardy winning the ECW Chamionship Miz & Morrison being the best tag team in the WWE Christian's great title run Sheamus vs Goldust Mark Henry's ECW title run Zack Ryder as a heel ECW Originals vs the New Breed Mr. McMahon's title run

ECW made me give a shit about a Hurricane Helms/Paul Burchill feud...
THAT says something about the writing of the program.

I remember everyone hating it back then, and basically ignoring it's existence. It's funny to read this thread and see so many people praising it, especially given how often WWE is accused of revisionist history.
I also didn't know it ran for that long until long after it was over. I thought it had ended in 2008 or something. I was so tuned out of WWE programming by that point that I never saw it outside of it's first few months.I tried to get into it, but after watching the first few months and spending the duration of the show wanting to kick in my TV, I just gave up on it.
